I loved the The Cosby Show growing up and remembered the episode when Rudy got her period.
Clair receives a call from the school nurse and learns that Rudy has gotten her period. She makes plans for "Women's Day," a family tradition in which Clair spends a fun day with her daughter and answers any questions that she might have.
So I planned to have this special event with Hannah and had told her what a nice day we would have. She decided not to go to church Wednesday night. I was worried something had happened at church after school. She got in car and announced that tonight was "Women's Night". I thought that she meant she had wanted to have beauty night and I was way to tired for that. But then I realized what she meant! We drove to Chrissy's to tell her the news. She wanted to let Hannah know all of the important things she should do and refrain from doing in the coming years. We shopped for supplies and had a nice dinner out at Sake Sushi.
Ubykotex has a lot of information on first period experiences and answers a lot of questions for tweens.
